QuantumGhost c45dd66bd7 The site field returned by HumanInputFormApi is inconsistent with the API docs (vibe-kanban e0fb38c9)
```javascript

Expected structure:

```json

The current implementation of HumanInputFormApi returns the following structure:

```json

{
    "site": {
        "title": "hitl-chatflow",
        "chat_color_theme": null,
        "chat_color_theme_inverted": false,
        "icon_type": "emoji",
        "icon": "🤖",
        "icon_background": "#FFEAD5",
        "icon_url": null,
        "description": null,
        "copyright": null,
        "privacy_policy": null,
        "custom_disclaimer": "",
        "default_language": "en-US",
        "prompt_public": false,
        "show_workflow_steps": true,
        "use_icon_as_answer_icon": false
    },

    // ... other fields
}

```

Dify Backend API

Usage

Important

In the v1.3.0 release, poetry has been replaced with uv as the package manager for Dify API backend service.

  1. Start the docker-compose stack

    The backend require some middleware, including PostgreSQL, Redis, and Weaviate, which can be started together using docker-compose.

    cd ../docker
    cp middleware.env.example middleware.env
    # change the profile to mysql if you are not using postgres,change the profile to other vector database if you are not using weaviate
    docker compose -f docker-compose.middleware.yaml --profile postgresql --profile weaviate -p dify up -d
    cd ../api
    
  2. Copy .env.example to .env

    cp .env.example .env
    

Important

When the frontend and backend run on different subdomains, set COOKIE_DOMAIN to the sites top-level domain (e.g., example.com). The frontend and backend must be under the same top-level domain in order to share authentication cookies.

  1. Generate a SECRET_KEY in the .env file.

    bash for Linux

    sed -i "/^SECRET_KEY=/c\SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -base64 42)" .env
    

    bash for Mac

    secret_key=$(openssl rand -base64 42)
    sed -i '' "/^SECRET_KEY=/c\\
    SECRET_KEY=${secret_key}" .env
    
  2. Create environment.

    Dify API service uses UV to manage dependencies. First, you need to add the uv package manager, if you don't have it already.

    pip install uv
    # Or on macOS
    brew install uv
    
  3. Install dependencies

    uv sync --dev
    
  4. Run migrate

    Before the first launch, migrate the database to the latest version.

    uv run flask db upgrade
    
  5. Start backend

    uv run flask run --host 0.0.0.0 --port=5001 --debug
    
  6. Start Dify web service.

  7. Setup your application by visiting http://localhost:3000.

  8. If you need to handle and debug the async tasks (e.g. dataset importing and documents indexing), please start the worker service.

uv run celery -A app.celery worker -P threads -c 2 --loglevel INFO -Q dataset,priority_dataset,priority_pipeline,pipeline,mail,ops_trace,app_deletion,plugin,workflow_storage,conversation,workflow,schedule_poller,schedule_executor,triggered_workflow_dispatcher,trigger_refresh_executor,retention

Additionally, if you want to debug the celery scheduled tasks, you can run the following command in another terminal to start the beat service:

uv run celery -A app.celery beat

Testing

  1. Install dependencies for both the backend and the test environment

    uv sync --dev
    
  2. Run the tests locally with mocked system environment variables in tool.pytest_env section in pyproject.toml, more can check Claude.md

    uv run pytest                           # Run all tests
    uv run pytest tests/unit_tests/         # Unit tests only
    uv run pytest tests/integration_tests/  # Integration tests
    
    # Code quality
    ../dev/reformat               # Run all formatters and linters
    uv run ruff check --fix ./    # Fix linting issues
    uv run ruff format ./         # Format code
    uv run basedpyright .         # Type checking
